Strange Planets was published intermittently by I. W. Publishing/Super Comics between 1958 and 1964. There were eight issues published #1, #9-12, #15-16 and #18. All of which contained material already published.

The cover for issue #1 was taken from Strange Worlds issue #3 drawn by Everett Raymond Kinstler. The stories were taken from Incredible Science Fiction issue #30 published in July 1955. This set the pattern for the rest of the series, covers being taken from one comic and the content from another. Titles reprinted were various issues of Strange Worlds, Space Detective, Rocket to the Moon and Journey into Unknown Worlds.
